Dermaplaning myth busters!
MYTH 1: Dermaplaning makes hair grow back darker.
Hair colour is determined by genetics and hormones, not by dermaplaning.
The treatment simply removes the fine vellus hair sitting on the skin’s surface. When it grows back, it will be the same colour and texture as before.
MYTH 2: Dermaplaning is the same as shaving your face.
While both remove hair, dermaplaning is a professional treatment performed with a sterile surgical blade and controlled technique. It is designed not only to remove vellus hair but also to exfoliate dead skin cells, improving overall skin texture and radiance.
MYTH 3: Dermaplaning causes hair to grow faster.
Hair growth happens in cycles that are regulated by the body.
Dermaplaning does not change the growth cycle, meaning hair returns at the same rate it naturally would.
MYTH: 4 Dermaplaning thins or damages the skin.
In reality, dermaplaning removes only the outermost layer of dead skin cells, which the body naturally sheds over time anyway.
When performed correctly, it can actually help the skin appear brighter and smoother.
MYTH 5: Dermaplaning is only for removing peach fuzz.
Hair removal is only part of the treatment. Many patients choose dermaplaning because it can also:
• Improve skin texture
• Enhance product absorption
• Create a smoother base for makeup
• Instantly refresh dull skin
The key with any aesthetic treatment is proper assessment and professional technique, ensuring it’s suitable for your individual skin.
